Vsg Has Literally Saved My Life (May Be Tmi)

[Spatters3 315]

I have been post-menopausal for 5 years. I had started spotting off and on a few months before my VSG but after surgery I have been having a full-fledged period like, every 2 weeks ! So... I followed my mother's advice (she's always right) and talked to my PCP about it. He didn't like the sounds of my symptoms and ordered an ultrasound. That showed that my uterus is enlarged and the walls were thickened. The PCP sent me to a gynecologist. She did a biopsy and I got the results today - I have endometrial uterine cancer. I now have an appointment with an oncologist and I'm pretty sure I'll be just fine (and lose more weight too !

If my hormones hadn't been stirred up by getting the VSG, I would have been content with putting up with the occasional spotting for a long, long time.... more than likely, too long.

So thank you Sleevie ! And thank You God !

My goodness that is a mixture of good and bad! It sounds like you got it caught early enough! So glad to hear that you went to the doctor and the signs had you concerned.

You will fight it and you will beat it. None of us have to give into cancer, we exist in an age that we are literally able to cure diabeties through curing obesity, cancer will be nothing!

I know you are scared, please be ok with that. Listen to your body. Find something new everyday to go "I am fighting for ME, to appreciate and experience THIS."

Keep the wind at your back, and call upon us if it changes directions.
